We are on March 5th sailing of the Reflection. I did a count on Monday which revealed 205 balconies available & 5 suites available (No Inside or Oceanview). Ship info states 1523 cabins. This calculates to 86% occupancy.

@udamom March 5th 2023 7 Night Eastern Caribbean & Bahamas on Celebrity Reflection.

Following along. We board 3/5/23 for family cruise. Reflection is a new ship for all of us so looking forward to your live report. Fair Winds & Calm Seas...

We are also a family of morning coffee drinkers. We will be on the Reflection and told that coffee is available in the Hideaway on Deck 7. Looks like they use Lavazza as well. Anyone ever tried the Hideaway coffee?

@cementhands Unfortunately getting there early is not possible. I double checked port schedules with Cruisetimtables.com and we are on the Reflection which is the last of 5 ships to arrive: Celebrity Reflection a 1230 d 2000 2852 Guests Disney Fantasy a 0745 d 1600 2500 Guests Norwegian Encore a 1130 d 1900 3998 Guests Wonder Of The Seas a 1159 d 2000 5734 Guests ms Nieuw Statendam a 0800 d 1700 2666 Guests I like @jean87510 recommendation for Brewers Beach. Due to the large numbers in port we have decided on a 6 hour Private Tour with David's Fun Tours and we will have him take us to Brewers for snorkeling and swim. He will wait for us. Hopefully this will work out.

We prefer Hyatt House Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, Dania Beach, FL. They have big clean rooms, breakfast buffet included, airport shuttle free. It is walkable to the relatively new shopping complex, Dania Pointe which includes many good restaurants. https://www.daniapointe.com

Cruise terminal to the Anne Frank house - Take a taxi.

@Dancing Shoes Good advice!

I checked the app for my March 5 Reflection cruise...No such wording...No gym reservations required for fitness center.

The absolute best canal tour IMO is as follows: https://www.thosedamboatguys.com/#new-page You can purchase tickets on line where you can get directions to meeting location which is walkable from Anne Frank house.

Recommended: Cabin # - 7286 The cabin was very quiet. You could not hear any noise from the elevator area - which is very close. Balcony View - Excellent view - looking down you see the "chase" boat (not a tender) and a portion where the waves splash. Balcony Size - huge balcony - largest of the angle cabins. No wind as it is angled towards aft.

Jacqui, Appreciate all your hard work and dedication maintaining the Future Cruise listings. We just booked the N Statendam for 01-Oct-23 14-day Holy Land & Ancient Kingdoms. Lots of new ports for us which we are excited about. Suzie

@cruiseat50 I use the 'Cruise Port Schedules' section of Cruisemapper.com. You need to check each port individually

We booked with Classic Beverage Package. Boarding passes for all 4 adults says CALL. Boarding pass for my 9 year old granddaughter says CLNA. I'm assuming that this means Classic No Alcohol. Am I correct? Can she order non alcohol cocktails with us, like a mocktail pina colada?

@VetDrm Move thread to Italy Ports of Call.

Concur with @Essiesmom. Move thread to Florida Departures.

We will be bringing or snorkeling gear. I saw a great video a few posts down of snorkeling at Sapphire beach but we are among 6 ships in port that day and it may too crowded at Sapphire. Anyone know of other beach for snorkeling?

We will be bringing our snorkeling gear. Anyone know which St. Maarten beach is good for snorkeling?

@kahunabd You may have a better response if you move this topic to forum West Coast Departures. Departures

@Kelownadon You may get a better response if you move topic to forum Florida Departures.

@Jananza Put the winter tires on the car & bring the snow shovels out. Brrr! We had a dusting of snow today also, then rain washed it away. 😉

Celebrity-Cruises-Beverage-Packages.pdf Am I blind or what...not seeing Jameson in neither the Classic package nor the Premium package. Anyone know which package for Jameson?

@aviators99 You will have better luck for an answer if you post this on the 'Florida' Homeports Forum.
